Hernstein Civil War Era Capital Set
Hermann Hernstein and Son were major suppliers during the war located in New York. Their wartime address was 131 Mercer and 393 Broadway. This is a major 3 tier capitol set with orthopedic emphasis. It has multiple orthopedic bone forceps, hammer etc but no bullet forceps or urinay cathiters that are in a smaller "field" kit.

The brass plaque is unmarked but may be USA Hospital Dept engraved on the reverse side. Many surgeons may have "flipped" the brass plaque after they came home from war to hide that fact the set had been removed from uncle sam property. Instruments are marked Hernstein & Son and bone forceps are marked USA Hospital Department. Missing only arterial bulldog forceps. Overall in excellent condition. Several of the instruments show spider-web erosion pattern due to longterm exposure to blood rather than water. Salt from blood left on the instruments after use is the culprit.
